The story
The Capital Grille at 630 Old Country Road in Garden City brings the kind of American steakhouse experience that earns serious recognition. In 2024, Wine Spectator awarded the restaurant its prestigious Best of Award of Excellence — a distinction that reflects not just a well-stocked cellar, but a genuine commitment to pairing great wine with great food.
Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. It signals a list of considerable depth and breadth, curated to complement the bold, straightforward flavors that define classic American cuisine. For guests who care about what's in the glass as much as what's on the plate, this recognition carries real weight.
The Capital Grille serves both lunch and dinner, making it a destination for business meals and evening occasions alike. The American menu is built around the kind of confident, unfussy cooking that has made this style of dining endure — quality ingredients, precise preparation, and a room that feels appropriately substantial without being stiff.
